I would avoid allotments if we are talking about extremely hard times I reckon they might be a target, if shtf allotments are pointless either way both would mean hard work and costs to then be robbed.

If we just go into hard times, make ends meet kind of thing, then allotment would be great, the advantage of an allotment your meet so many people that will offer up years and years of knowledge and your get to swap for free seeds and foods.

Growing food is a big deal protecting what you grow is even bigger, unless you have a garden or back yard consider, grow bag and wild foods as a skill set, also plant trees if you have the space my garden yields easy 2000 apples per year, 3000+ plums, huge amounts of elderberry, black berries and rhubarb and I don't have to do anything anymore for these crops they are established now.

I used to grow potatoes/cabbage/ carrots/tomatoes/strawberry's and figs but I sort of stopped for the last three years, other things in life got in the way.

My garden is not as big as this chat might make it seem, I get these numbers from 4 apple trees, two plum trees, just one elder tree, as for the rhubarb I planted 6 when I first joined this forum and I think I even posted about it here somewhere, to this day 5 have survived and one died, they keep on giving while in season fast growing crop I get so much I give it away.

Everything I grow or used to grow I picked because they are mostly self sufficient.
